The International Anti-Corruption Day has been marked on December 9 each year to raise awareness about the global issue.
The United Nations, which has formally recognised International Anti-Corruption Day, claims that corruption is a political, social, and economic problem that stifles economic growth, undermines democracy, and contributes to governmental instability.
The theme of the International Anti-Corruption Day
Your right, your role: Say no to Corruption”
History of the International Anti-Corruption Day
The UN Convention Against Corruption was endorsed by the United Nations General Assembly in October 2003. Following that, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) was named as the Conference of States Parties' secretariat.
After that, the assembly declared December 9 to be International Anti-Corruption Day.
